Many teachers, many styles

There are many teachers, many styles out there. What is important is to find a style that suits yourself, and a teacher that suits yourself. It is not easy to find a good teacher, someone who possesses the knowledge that you seek, someone who can point you onwards when you exceed what he has to impart.

But even more difficult is to find a student that is willing to put in the hard work to learn what you have to pass on.

Finding a good teacher is difficult, finding a good student is even more difficult.

I am blessed to have good teachers for both taiji and calligraphy. I hope I am putting in enough hard work for them to feel that I am a good student worth teaching.
